Curious if anyone has an opinion on ending phrases with vibratos (such as in classical music) and if a note ends in a D, for instance, would you play second string third fret in order to play a vibrato or would you just skip the vibrato and strike the first string open to keep it simple?
I imagine it might come down to “whatever I think sounds good” but just checking.

A banjo note decays too quickly for a vibrato articulation.

That depends on the setup and the player. I've used vibrato occasionally in some slower songs. Nothing like on electric guitar, but still possible.

My wife pointed out that if she ended every sentence of hers with an exclamation point or a sharp raising of her voice, it would sound quite annoying very quickly. She recommended I don't end each phrase with a vibrato.

How 'bout some neck vibrato!
